"The News" reports that a Rhode Island Congressman donned a SpongeBob SquarePants outfit live on C-Span. They used a pseudo name (Kenneth Gurwitch) and a fake story of him doing the stunt to impress a kid to save face for the Kennedy family.

Rhode Island voters took pictures of Pat going blackface to a party with a grain of salt. Even pictures of a woman doing a shot of tequila out of the Kennedy's navel were not enough to keep the voters from reelecting the young Kennedy. The fact is that Patrick Kennedy does not take his job seriously enough to not be caught in these situations. It is as if he finds new (and innovative) ways to embarrass Congress and the state of Rhode Island.

Rhode Island voters should have known that Kennedy was not serious about the job when he showed up for his Official Congressional Photo dressed as a "Fat Elvis".
